1. Course objectives
This course is intended to provide students with the necessary understanding the concept of social infrastructure as a way to research and value various kinds of spaces. Social infrastructure helps in recognizing the public dimensions of undervalued spaces. In developing the concept of social infrastructure, this course covers some important issues of social scientific inquiry about social infrastructure and public space, sociality and publicness, and sociality and encounter. An approach to the topic of public space as an social infrastructure presents the public places to life by planning and designing them with the people who use them every day. Based on the understanding of public life in the cities, productive cases of community-powered public spaces will be addressed and criticized.

2. Course Description
Recently, we faces profound social challenges including an aging population, runaway inequality, and explosive ethnic divisions that we can address only if we establish stronger bonds with one another and develop some shared interests. we need to move beyond violent opposition to a perceived nemesis and develop a sense of shared purpose based on commitments to justice and decency. Social infrastructure, the physical conditions that determine whether social capital develops, is the missing piece to building places where all kinds of people can gather is the best way to repair the fractured societies we live in today. When social infrastructure is robust, it fosters contact, mutual support, and collaboration among friends and neighbors. In the course, the elementary forms of social infrastructure will be identified and how they shape conditions in different kinds of places, urban and suburban, rich and poor will be analysed by comparative method.
